"There Was a Jolly Miller Once" is a traditional folk song (Roud #503) from the Chester area in northwest England. It is often titled "The Miller of the Dee" or "The Jolly Miller". The song was originally part of Isaac Bickerstaffe's play, Love in a Village (1762). Subsequently, other versions of Bickerstaffe's original song were made by various other poets. The city of Chester stands on the River Dee and a weir was built across the river here in the Middle Ages to maintain high water levels for several water mills which stood on its banks.

| - "There Was a Jolly Miller Once" is a traditional folk song (Roud #503) from the Chester area in northwest England. It is often titled "The Miller of the Dee" or "The Jolly Miller". The song was originally part of Isaac Bickerstaffe's play, Love in a Village (1762). Subsequently, other versions of Bickerstaffe's original song were made by various other poets. The city of Chester stands on the River Dee and a weir was built across the river here in the Middle Ages to maintain high water levels for several water mills which stood on its banks. The River Dee rises on the eastern slopes of Dduallt in Snowdonia, Wales and enters the Dee Estuary on the outskirts of Chester. The English name for the river is derived from its Welsh name, Afon Dyfrdwy. Its Latin name was Deva. The song is usually sung to the Welsh harp tune Llydaw (Welsh for 'Brittany'). Many settings of the tune have been made by British composers, most notably Benjamin Britten in volume three of his Folk-song arrangements (1947). Roger Quilter's setting of the song was included in the Arnold Book of Old Songs, published in 1950. Beethoven set Version 3 below, for 3 singers and piano trio, in 1819. Several versions for choir also exist, such as that by John Rutter. In 1962 Havergal Brian wrote a comedy overture for orchestra based on the tune. A 1997 local interest book on the history of the Mills and Millers in Chester was named after this folk song.... (en)
- Miller of Dee è una canzone folk tradizionale (Roud # 503) originaria della zona di Chester, nel nord-ovest dell'Inghilterra. È nota anche "The Miller of the Dee" o "The Jolly Miller". Originariamente la canzone faceva parte dell'opera teatrale di Isaac Bickerstaffe, (1762). In seguito, altre versioni della canzone originale furono realizzate da altri poeti. La canzone è di solito cantata insieme con la melodia dell'arpa gallese Llydaw. Molte composizioni della melodia vennero realizzate da compositori britannici, in particolare Benjamin Britten, nel volume tre dei suoi arrangiamenti delle canzoni folk (1947). L'impostazione della canzone di Roger Quilter fu inclusa nell'Arnold Book of Old Songs, pubblicato nel 1950. Esistono anche diverse versioni del brano riadattate per i cori, come quella di John Rutter. Nel 1962 Havergal Brian scrisse una commedia per orchestra basata sulla melodia popolare. La canzone tratta dei mugnai che vivevano nei mulini alimentati da una diga, costruita nel Medioevo sul fiume Dee nella città di Chester. Il fiume Dee sorge sulle pendici orientali di Dduallt a Snowdonia, nel Galles, ed entra nell'estuario alla periferia di Chester. Il nome inglese per il fiume deriva dal suo nome gallese, Afon Dyfrdwy. Il suo nome latino era Deva. Un libro sul luogo del 1997, riguardante la storia dei mulini sul fiume Dee e dei mugnai di Chester prende il nome da questa canzone popolare. (it)
